Apparently my body likes some expensive assistance.
I guess it depends on whether you seek medical attention to heal or not 
Managed to pick some eye fillet at a good price today. Looks like protein is sorted for the next week !!

Ribeye > Eye Fillet. If I hadn’t blown all my monies on a gym I’d be looking a bit more seriously at some wholesale Wagyu during this period. Sher is doing wholesale prices + delivery right now. Only half a grand for a couple of kilos. Can butcher it a bit myself.

Rib eye is not the same as eye fillet. Eye fillet is the tenderloin or filet in France. Rib eye is the same as scotch fillet which is from the rib section. Either was it’s yummy tender meat with extra gainzzz
Australian naming conventions aside (which are weird anyways I dunno why same cuts have different names) Rib-eye is better than eye fillet, tenderloin, Filet Mignon IMO. Can’t beat that fat
Some of us have enough fat of our own

Mate I have doubts you’re even a powerlifter at times. Doesn’t matter if you’ve done 0.5 more meets than me given it was a novice comp (I think). If you don’t have that glorious power belly are you really a powerlifter?
Lmao I don’t call myself a power anything. I’m just a dad doing his best to not fall apart as I get older. Given your comments maybe it is time to eat back on the bulk train

What with the weights being thrown around in this log, the pics of meat and the talk of power-bellies…man, I hate it when I am cutting. I don’t even know why I do it. Probably won’t even be allowed on a beach this year.
One of these days I am just going to say SCREW IT and go all in on the powerlifting physique. I wonder how much weight I could push.

Let go of the cut and embrace the power belly your life will be 10x more fulfilling.

I dunno, I am single. Not sure if that look works for me. On the other hand, I am also anti-social and unlikely to find another mate, so maybe?
Jests aside, I probably will go on another Be A Fatty spree at some point in the near future, but no point in doing it when I have zero access to any iron.

Monday 13th April peak week 1
Squat
Bar x 1
65 x 5
85 x 3
105 x 2
125 x 1
135 x 1
142.5 x 1 (314 lbs) RPE 8
132.5 x 3 x 4 sets (292 lbs) RPE 8, 8, 8, 8
Felt good today. Lower left leg still a little sore from where the car hit me on my motorcycle last week. But it didn’t slow me down. Happy
Bench
Bar x 10
65 x 5
85 x 3
90 x 6 x 4 sets (198 lbs) RPE 8, 8, 8, 9
Reps were smooth.
Bulgarians (with bar)
50kg x 9 x 3 sets
Good pump, still finding balance difficult using the bar.
Close grip bench
75 x 7 x 4 sets
Nice pump
Good start to the peak. The last week wasn’t the best prep for starting a peak. Hit by a car, no training all week and the diet and sleep was crap over the Easter break. Still it went ok but I am guessing I will be sore tomorrow.
Now just got to keep hitting the numbers each week.
